Learn More - Intellimarker™

The Intellimarker™ is a comprehensive benchmarking tool designed for Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs). It acts as a powerful navigator, providing detailed financial and operational data against which ASCs can compare their performance, develop pro forma projections, and discover industry trends and insights.

Unlike other healthcare facilities, limited public information is available for ASCs. This was our motivation for publishing an ASC benchmarking study. Every year since our inception in 1995, VMG Health has had the privilege of providing valuation and consulting services to hundreds of ASCs across the country. In 2006, we began collecting financial and operational information from ASCs and publishing this information in an annual benchmarking study called the Intellimarker™.

The ASC landscape has and is constantly shifting, demanding ever-more comprehensive data to navigate its complexities. VMG Health is committed to staying ahead of the curve by investing in richer data sets and sophisticated analytics, ensuring Intellimarker™ remains a trusted partner for the thousands of organizations whom rely upon our study.

The Intellimarker™ ASC study is based on detailed information provided by over 580+ centers around the country, representing an aggregate surgical case volume of over 3.4 million cases. The information provided has been divided into sections which cover all significant areas of financial and operational performance. These benchmarking sections include:

                                granular

Create actionable insights
                                Benchmarking is not just about understanding where you stand; it's about
                                charting
                                a course for improvement. Translate your findings into actionable strategies.
                                For example, if your revenue per case mix unit falls below the peer group
                                average, investigate billing practices or renegotiate payer contracts.
                            
Continuously monitor
                                Benchmarking is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. Regularly revisit your
                                peer group analysis to track progress over time and adjust your strategies as
                                needed. Intellimarker™'s dynamic data platform allows you to stay abreast of
                                evolving trends and ensure your ASC remains competitive.
